Monaco set to pay chunk of Victor Valdes' £150k-a-week wages at Man Utd

VICTOR VALDES has agreed a compensation deal with Monaco, paving the way for the goalkeeper to join Manchester United.

Valdes has been training with United in recent weeks but is yet to formally commit his playing future to the Old Trafford outfit.

And it seems that negotiations over a compensation agreement with Monaco have been holding up a move.

Monaco had agreed to sign Valdes on a free transfer at the end of last season, but reneged on the deal when the Spanish stopper suffered a cruciate knee injury.

Valdes maintains that he remains entitled to the salary he had agreed with Monaco, and reports in Spain suggest that a compromise has now been reached.

It is claimed that Valdes was set to earn £150,000-a-week plus bonuses at Monaco plus bonuses and while United won't pay anything like that amount, it is believed that the Principality club will now make up the difference between that amount and what United are willing to pay.

It now remains to be seen what United are willing to pay Valdes to become back-up to David De Gea with the saga seemingly drawing to a close.
